Ra'anana

Ra'anana is a city in central Israel home to around 100,000 residents with a modern administration building that handles municipal services. The council coordinates essential functions for residents, from building permits to taxes and community initiatives.

The city gained local council status in 1936 and later developed into an administrative hub for its expanding population. The municipal building was modernized to serve the needs of immigrants, particularly from America and other Western nations.

The council chambers host regular meetings where citizens participate in discussions about community development, reflecting the democratic values of local governance.

The municipal complex is open Sunday through Thursday for citizen inquiries and applications, with various departments located in separate offices. Visitors should check which department they need in advance to avoid lengthy waits.

The council introduced digital services in multiple languages, including English and French, to accommodate the large international population living in Ra'anana.
